SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 358,476, dated March 1, 1867.

Application tiled April 6, 1886. Serial No.197,985. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern.- 4

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN N. PAYNE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Elmira, in the county of Ohemung, State of New York, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Lubricators, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying draw 1ngs.

This invention has relation to lubricators, the object being to provide a device adapted to be connected to a moving part of an engine or other machine, so that oil may be received from a stationary oil-supplying device and conducted to the bearings; and the invention consists in certain features of construction, hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of an engine provided with my improvements. Fig. 2 is a perspective of a portion of an oil receiver or cellar, and Fig. 3 is a cross-section of a modification.

Likeletters indicate like parts in all the figures of the drawings.

A represents the base, B the cylinder, 0

the cross-head, D the crankshaft, and E the connectingrod, of an engine, in this instance a horizontal engine. Upon the base A is erected the standard F, to support a pin-oiler, G, or any other suitable oil-supplying device adapted to deliver the oil therefrom continuously and in small quantities.

H represents the oil receiver and distributer, which I shall hereinafter designate as the cellar, and which by means of the clamps H is secured to the connecting-rod E, and upon the upper surface thereof. The cellar H consists of a sheet-metal or other vessel of any desirable outline in cross-section, having a mouth or opening, H extending either completely from end to end thereof, or from near one end to near the other. In the mouth and extending the entire length thereof is arranged an inclined depending check-plate, H, extending from one edge of the mouth below and beyond the opposite edge. From each end of the cellar are extended pipes I, which provide passages for the oil from the cellar to the bearings of the cross-head G or wrist-pin E, so that said portions are continually supplied with oil.

Now, it will be seen that the length of the 5 month of the cellar should be such that oil dropping from the source G of supply in a perpendicular line will enter the cellar at all times during the reciprocations of the crosshead and connecting-rod, and that said oil will strike upon the check-plate H and run down the same intothe cellar below said plate, and that said plate will check, stop, or prevent the oil from being thrown out of the cylinder by the motions of the connectingrod.

If desired, instead of forming the checkplate of a separate piece and securing it by rivets H" to the cellar, as shown in Fig. 2, the same may be made of one piece with the cellar, as shown in Fig, 3. So, also, if desired, the flanges H of the cellar may be extended, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2, to widen the mouth of the cellar. i

I am aware that it is not new to supply a stationary oil device for supplying a receiving device; but in. all such cases the receiving device is so situated as to discharge its contents by the gravity of the oil and centrifugal force. By my invention, however, the reciprocations of the moving part are sufficient to cause the oil to flow by the laws of inertia to the bearings of the machine.

Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. An oil-receiving device of the class described, provided at its receiving aperture or mouth with a check-plate, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. An oil-receiver provided with a checkplate at its oil-receivingmouth, and with delivery-pipes communicating with the cellar below said plate, and provided with attach ing devices, substantially as specified.

3. The combination, with a stationary oil supplying device and with a moving part of a machine, of an oil-cellar having a mouth, H at check-plate, 11, and a securing device, H, substantially as specified.

4. The combination of the cellar H, having the mouth H check-plate H and pipes I, with the stationary supply G and the moving part E, having the bearings E and 0, subthe oil to flow to said bearings, substantially stantially as specified. as specified. [0

5. An oil-receiver of the class described, In testimonywhereof Iaffix my signature in provided with attaching devices for fixedly presence of two Witnesses. mounting it upon the reciprocating part of a machine, and with suitable pipes leading to one or more bearings of said machine, whereby the recipi'ocations of said part will cause I BENJAMIN N.
